< Mark 6 >

1 He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
Yesu fi faako a ɔwɔ hɔ kɔɔ ne kurom a nʼasuafo no ka ne ho.
2 When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
Ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu Homeda, fii ase kyerɛkyerɛ maa dodow a wobetiee no ho dwiriw wɔn. Wobisae se, “Ɛhe na saa onipa yi nyaa saa nneɛma yi, dɛn nyansa na wɔde ama no a nti otumi yɛ anwonwade yi?
3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.
Ɛnyɛ duadwumfo no ni? Ɛnyɛ Maria babarima a ne nuanom ne Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda ne Simon no ni? Ɛnyɛ yɛne ne nuabeanom na ɛte ha!” Na wɔn bo fuw no.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Odiyifo kurom, nʼabusuafo mu, ne ne fi na onni anuonyam.”
5 He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
Wantumi anyɛ anwonwade ahorow wɔ hɔ, gye ayarefo kakraa bi na ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yare.
6 He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
Gye a wɔannye no anni no yɛɛ no nwonwa. Na Yesu kyinkyinii nkuraase kyerɛkyerɛe.
7 He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafo dumien no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔsomaa wɔn baanu baanu, maa wɔn tumi wɔ ahonhommɔne so.
8 He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
Akwankyerɛ a ɔde maa wɔn ni, “Mommfa biribiara nkura gye mo pema nko ara; mommfa aduan anaa kotoku anaa sika.
9 but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
Bio, mommfa mpaboa foforo anaa atade foforo nka nea ɛhyɛ mo yi ho.
10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
Baabiara a mobɛkɔ no, montena ofi baako pɛ mu. Monnsesa mo atenae.
11 Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
Na sɛ morefi kurow bi a wɔannye anaa wɔantie mo no mu akɔ a, momporoporow mo anan ase tutuw, mfa nni adanse.”
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
Asuafo no kɔkaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ obiara a wohyiaa no no sɛ ɔnsakra nʼadwene, ntwe ne ho mfi ne bɔne ho.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
Na wotutuu ahonhommɔne bebree, de ngo sraa ayarefo pii saa wɔn yare.
14 King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
Ɔhene Herode tee eyi, efisɛ na Yesu din atrɛw. Ebinom kae se, “Osuboni Yohane no na wasan aba nkwa mu bio, enti na otumi yɛ anwonwade a ɔyɛ yi.”
15 But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
Ebinom nso susuw sɛ, Yesu yɛ Odiyifo Elia na wasan aba. Afoforo nso kae se, odiyifo foforo bi a ɔte sɛ tete adiyifo akɛse no bi na waba.
16 But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
Herode kae se, “Dabi, ɛyɛ Osuboni Yohane a mitwaa ne ti no. Wanyan afi owu mu.”
17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
Saa bere no na Herode asoma asraafo ma wɔakɔkyere Yohane de no ato afiase, efisɛ na Yohane akasa atia Herode ne Herodia a na ɔyɛ Herode nua Filipo yere no aware.
18 For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
Osuboni Yohane ka kyerɛɛ Herode se, “Wunni ho kwan sɛ woware wo nua yere.”
19 Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
Asɛm a Yohane kae no anyɛ Herodia nso dɛ, ma onyaa ne ho menasepɔw kae se, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum Yohane. Nanso ɔrentumi nkum no gye sɛ Herode ama no tumi.
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
Na Herode de obu ma Yohane, efisɛ na onim sɛ ɔyɛ onipa trenee. Eyi nti ɔbɔɔ ne ho ban. Bere biara a Horode ne Yohane bɛkasa no, na ne ho yeraw no nanso eyi nyinaa akyi no, ɔde ntoboase tiee no.
21 Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
Nea Herodia pɛɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ Yohane no baa mu. Ɛne sɛ, na Herode redi nʼawoda, ma ɔtoo pon wɔ nʼahemfi maa ne mpanyimfo, nʼasafohene ne Galilea mpanyimfo.
22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
Herodia babea bɛsaw kyerɛɛ wɔn ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa fɛ. Herode de ntam ka kyerɛɛ ababaa no se, “Bisa me biribiara a wopɛ; sɛ mʼaheman mu fa mpo na wopɛ koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
23 He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
Ababaa yi kɔɔ ne na nkyɛn kobisaa no nea ommisa ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bisa no Osuboni Yohane ti!”
25 She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
Ababaa yi de ahoɔhare san baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mepɛ sɛ wode Osuboni Yohane ti to prɛte mu ma me mprempren ara!”
26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
Eyi maa ɔhene no werɛ howee, nanso esiane sɛ na waka ntam wɔ nnipa no anim no nti, wammu bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ ne babea no so.
27 Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Herode somaa nʼasraafo no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔ afiase hɔ nkotwa Yohane ti mfa mmrɛ no. Ɔsraani no kotwaa Osuboni Yohane ti,
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
na ɔde too prɛte mu brɛɛ ababaa no ma ɔde kɔmaa ne na.
29 When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
Bere a Yohane asuafo no tee nea asi no, wɔbɛfaa nʼamu no kosiee no wɔ ɔboda bi mu.
30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
Asomafo no san baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkaa nea wɔyɛɛ ne nea wɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
31 He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
Yesu tiee wɔn amanneɛ no wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma yɛntwe yɛn ho mfi nnipakuw yi ho na yɛnkɔhome kakra.” Nea ɛma ɔkaa saa ne sɛ, na nnipa a wɔba wɔn nkyɛn no to ntwa da. Wonnya kwan mpo na wɔadidi.
32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no tenaa ɔkorow mu kɔɔ baabi a obiara nni hɔ.
33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
Nanso bere a wɔrekɔ no, nnipa pii huu wɔn ma wotuu mmirika faa mpoano hɔ kotwaa wɔn ho.
34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Eyi nti bere a Yesu sii fam no, na nnipakuw ahyia wɔ hɔ. Ohuu wɔn no ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn efisɛ na wɔte sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn nneɛma bebree a ɛsɛ sɛ wohu.
35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
Onwini reyɛ adwo no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ade resa. Aduan biara nso nni ha.
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnkɔ nkurow mu ne nkuraa a atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi ase, na wɔnkɔtɔ aduan bi nni.”
37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma wɔn aduan nni.” Wobisaa no se, “Ansa na yebetumi ama saa nnipa dodow yi aduan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yenya asram asia akatua. Yɛnsɛe sika a ɛte saa mfa mma wɔn brodo nni ana?”
38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Brodo ahe na mowɔ? Monkɔ na monkɔhwɛ.” Wɔsan ba bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wɔwɔ brodo anum ne mpataa abien.”
39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no se, wɔntenatena ase, na wɔtenatenaa ase akuwakuw wɔ sare no so.
40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
Wɔtenatenaa ase akuwakuw a bi yɛ ɔha na bi yɛ aduonum.
41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
Yesu faa brodo anum ne mpataa abien no, na ɔhwɛɛ soro, bɔɔ mpae, hyiraa so. Obubuu brodo no mu de maa asuafo no sɛ wɔnkyɛ mma nnipa no. Na ɔkyɛɛ mpataa no nso maa wɔn.
42 They all ate and were filled.
Nnipa no dii aduan no maa obiara mee!
43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
Nnipa a wodii aduan no bɛyɛ mmarima mpem anum;
44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
na wɔtasee ase nkae no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
Adidi no akyi pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wɔnkɔtena ɔkorow no mu, na wonni kan nkɔ Betsaida, na ɔregya nnipakuw no kwan na watiw wɔn.
46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
Akyiri no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔw no so kɔbɔɔ mpae.
47 When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
Anadwo no a asuafo no te ɔkorow mu adu asu no mfimfini no, na Yesu nko ara na ɔwɔ mpoano.
48 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
Ohuu sɛ na wɔn ho akyere wɔn; ɛne sɛ, mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye bɔ dwiradwiraa ɔkorow no, enti na wɔrebrɛ wɔ ɔkorow no hare mu. Anɔpahema bɛyɛ sɛ nnɔnabiɛsa bere mu no, ɔnantew asu no ani baa wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ sɛ ɔretwa wɔn ho.
49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
Bere a asuafo no huu obi sɛ ɔnam asu no ani no, wɔde ehu teɛteɛɛ mu efisɛ na wosusuw sɛ wɔahu ɔsaman.
50 for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
Wɔn nyinaa huu no. Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam. Ɛyɛ me! Munnsuro!”
51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
Afei ɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ ɔkorow no mu no, mframa no gyaee. Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn,
52 for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
efisɛ na wɔnte aduanma no ase, na wɔapirim wɔn koma.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
Wotwaa asu no baa Genesaret na woduu hɔ no, wɔde ɔkorow no baa mpoano.
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
Na wosi fii ɔkorow no mu no, nnipa a wogyinagyina hɔ no huu no.
55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
Wotuu mmirika kyinii nkurow a atwa hɔ ahyia no nyinaa so soaa nnipa a wɔyare deda wɔn akɛtɛ so brɛɛ no wɔ baabiara a wɔtee sɛ ɔwɔ.
56 Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
Na nkuraa ase anaa nkurow so baabiara a ɔkɔe no, wɔde ayarefo beguu mmɔnten so, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatade ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefo dodow a wotumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatade ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
